Hello,

I want some help in selecting the right OINP Employer Job Offer Stream.

I completed a post-grad. Diploma in December 2022 and was offered a full-time position after completing my co-op (as noc 21220 – Cybersecurity specialists) with the same company. This job is not supported by LMIA. I also have a Master's degree which I earned outside of Canada and 10+ years of experience as an IT System Administrator\Engineer.

I get the impression from reading that I might qualify for both the Foreign Worker Stream and International Student Stream. My PGWP application is still pending, so I am currently on an Implied Status. Since I can only apply for one of these streams, which of these would I be better suited for?

Is your employer willing to complete the Employer Form? Many employers are not. Have you had that conversation yet?

I have not started that conversation with my employer yet. I was waiting until I receive my PGWP, but I can do that tomorrow so they know. I did find HR documentation which explains that they will provide the supporting documents for PR, but only if I use their lawyer. Not sure how helpful this is, but my employer is one of the big 4 consultancy firms.

I would recommend having this converation with your employer sooner rather than later. Your employer must be willing to complete the employer form and provide the supporting documentation required. No substitutions for these documents are accepted by OINP.

Many large organizations (e.g. the big banks) are not willing to complete these forms. I can't comment on the big 4. Maybe they will do it. Regardless, I would have that conversation soon so that you know if this is possible or not.
